There are only a few openings available, and priority is given to those who have not been out before. Our Builds especially welcome women, and teams of two or three, if you'd like to come with a friend.

Quality meals for all Colorado kids

First let the children eat all they want

(Mark7:27 NIV)

This November, Colorado voters can ensure access to free, nutritious meals made with quality ingredients for all students in public schools by voting YES on the Healthy School Meals for All ballot initiative, Prop FF. 

Why Healthy School Meals for All? And why now?

• Eliminates school lunch debt and lunch shaming (40% of students who are currently eligible don’t participate)
• Removes stigma by ensuring school meals are treated the same way as textbooks and other core educational supports
• Healthy School Meals for All was put in place as part of federal COVID-19 aide for 2020 and 2021. The program ended on June 30, 2022.
• School nutrition departments dealt with COVID issues like increased need, inflation, and supply chain issues. Regular funding through the HSMA program can help respond to those for the long-term.

Supported by 301 Faith Partners Advocacy Group

Please send prayer requests to marymagdalafc@gmail.com. Prayers will be listed for one month unless requested for longer. Prayers for the repose of souls will be listed for six months unless requested for a longer time.
